Which fast-food burger tastes the best?

Post author By web gangsta
Post date September 24, 2012

Web Watch loves a good burger.

When done right, it’s phenomenal. When done poorly, it’s still pretty good. Of course, we make our own decision as to where we’re going to get that burger, and go into the establishment generally knowing what we’re going to get.

There’s a difference between a McDonald’s Dollar Menu double-cheeseburger and a burger from the Burger Gourmet Bar sit-down restaurant with the $21 Kobe beef slider down the street. You get what you pay for, and as long as you’re okay with that, then the following won’t surprise you.

10 Things How To Internet

How to write a comment on the Internet (It’s “Online Commenting Etiquette 101”)

1 Comment on How to write a comment on the Internet (It’s “Online Commenting Etiquette 101”)

Commenting (whether it be on a blog, a Facebook page, or via Tweet) is a fine art.

Some people get it right, and are effective in rallying other readers behind their cause. Others are looked at as Internet trolls, people who have absolutely nothing to add to the conversation.

Look, it’s really easy — we get it, the Internet is an anonymous cesspool of interaction, allowing anyone with a screen and a keyboard to shout out whatever they feel like, at any time they’d like. The First Amendment does protect those folks in saying whatever they want, but the First Amendment doesn’t guarantee that they can say it wherever they can. That’s why the DELETE and BAN buttons were invented.

Top things to do on a first date

When was the last time you went on a “first date”?

Can you even remember what you did on your first date with your current significant other? Here’s a game to play — with your spouse, you each separately write down how you believe your first date went. The where, what, how — as many details as you can each remember.

Then, hand your answers over to an impartial party (like your best friends or children), and have them compile the answers back to see who got the most portions of the story correct. Bonus points are awarded for anything the two of you match on.

10 Toxic products you should avoid

Do you read product labels when you’re making household purchases? Web Watch does try to avoid buying food that contains high fructose corn syrup or has “sugar” listed on the label — but we’re a creature of habit, and Pop Tarts taste so darn good.

But we don’t really take the time to read all those other funky labels and warnings that seem to be applied to practically everything we get nowadays. Do we care that something was made in a plant that also processes “soy”, “nuts”, and “dairy products”? Eh. Not so much… but we know some folks who do care, so we’re not going to make fun of them for this.

Um, what’s YOUR “crutch word”?

Post author By web gangsta
Post date September 18, 2012

A while back, Web Watch told you about how much we hate certain words – like “mancave” and “actually”.

It ends up that there’s a reason why some of these words really suck – and it’s not because some of these phrases are just stupid made-up things (“vajayjay”) that serve no purpose when other, more practical words can suffice.

How well do you know world events and politics? (Chances are, not well at all)

Were you one of those kids who really excelled at Social Studies in grade school?

Do you sit there and read through the World Almanac every year?

Can you entertain others at a cocktail party with your ability to name every foreign president in alphabetical order?

Yeah, we didn’t think so. Kids who can do that kind of stuff are pretty much dorks.

How often do you read the Bible? Apparently, not as often as you think

Post author By web gangsta
Post date September 10, 2012

Web Watch knows that not everybody is religious.

There are those people who only go to church on Christmas and Easter (“C&E’ers”). Some who only attend on High Holy Days.

There are people who attend Mass every Saturday night, if only because they have other things to do on Sundays.

Each person has their own religious beliefs, and everyone can practice their religion in the best manner for their personal spiritual well-being. And we’re okay with that.

Fox News must really be reaching for readers.

That’s the only reason that Web Watch can even comprehend that they’d come up with this stellar, news-worthy story:
